A note on jurisdiction
Unlike Redding, Anderson, or Shasta Lake, Cottonwood is unincorporated Shasta County — it isn't its own incorporated city. A City of Redding business license isn't required for a business based or working here; instead, county-level rules apply, and any building-permit work (as opposed to a straightforward service call) goes through Shasta County's own BUILD SHASTA permit portal rather than the City of Redding's EnerGov system. For a simple lockout or rekey this distinction won't affect you directly, but it's part of what makes "just call whoever's in Redding" less reliable than it sounds for Cottonwood specifically.
